Explore the New Black Bear Loop

Hike on our newest trail at the Britton Forest on Moose Mountain. Built in 2020 by the Upper Valley Trails Alliance’s High School Trail Corps and volunteers from Hypertherm, the ~ 1 mile trail explores a gentle to moderately challenging route through the forest. We’ll look for wildlife signs in the winter woods. Snowshoes or micro-spikes are recommended, depending on conditions; gear is available to borrow.

Level: Easy (one brief moderate slope)

Leader: Adair Mulligan

Group size is limited to 9 participants + 1 leader; pre-registration here is required. Note that we maintain a small waitlist for pre-scheduled events (not for our pop-up trips). If your plans change, please let us know! You will be contacted before each trip to confirm your spot, so that we may offer room to someone else if available.

Hike to Moose Mountain Ledges

Enjoy incredible views from Killington to Mt. Washington, along Moose Mountain’s network of trails that connect several conserved properties. Venture out with us by snowshoe or micro-spikes, depending on conditions; gear is available to borrow.

Winter trips begin!

Our winter trips get underway this Saturday at Balch Hill with a leisurely snowshoe hike for families. We’ll admire the wintry view from the summit and enjoy warming refreshments afterward.
